Rediscover your love of skiing like Sue Lawley!

Sue and daughter Harriet in Val d'Isere

Sue Lawley wrote about her stay at the beautiful spa hotel, Les Barmes de l’Ours in Val d’Isere this weekend in the Mail on Sunday.  We were delighted to help organise the trip!

Les Barmes is one of our favourite hotels and is certainly a fantastic place to stay when you’re rediscovering the joys of skiing. If, like Sue, you unexpectedly find yourself hurtling down a red run when you’d rather be on a green, you can ease off the afternoon’s stresses with some heavenly treatments at the hotel’s fantastic spa. After all, there is more to do in the mountains than just ski!

Les Barmes de l’Ours also houses the Michelin starred Table de l’Ours – one of the best restaurants in Val d’Isere and not to be missed! Sue and her daughter Harriet enjoyed foie gras in a pear and wild celery sauce, Lake Geneva char with bouilla-baisse and polenta and slow roasted pork with honey and lemon. Delicious!
